In the past, the village of Stentsch essentially consisted of two manors of roughly the same size, called Mittel-Stentsch and Ober-Stentsch . According to the Silesian vassal table, both shares were in the hands of 47-year-old Georg Gottlob von Knobelsdorff in 1752 . Around 1858 Mittel-Stentsch owned a von Kalckreuth , while Ober-Stentsch was owned by a judiciary Hünke. The two landlords exercised patronage over the Protestant village church.

The municipality counted to 1945 county Züllichau-Schwiebus in the administrative district of Frankfurt of the province of Brandenburg of the German Reich .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Soon afterwards Stentsch was placed under Polish administration. Subsequently, the local Polish administrative authorities evicted the local population and replaced them with Poles. The German village of Stentsch was renamed Szczaniec .
